In the sections ahead, we’ll explore what postnatal physical therapy involves, unpack its benefits and show you how our tailored treatments help you thrive again—body, mind and spirit.
What Is Postnatal Physical Therapy?
Postnatal physical therapy focuses on the unique needs of your body after childbirth. It’s a specialised form of rehabilitation that addresses:
- Pelvic floor recovery
- Abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
- Back and hip stability
- Postural realignment
Your therapist starts with a gentle assessment. They guide you through one-on-one sessions that blend manual therapy, safe exercises and personalised advice. No two journeys are alike—feel heard, not rushed.

Essential At-Home Tips for Postnatal Recovery
Your home routine matters just as much as in-spa sessions. Try these:
- Pelvic Tilts: Lie on your back, knees bent, tilt pelvis upward gently. Repeat 10-15 times.
- Deep Breathing: Place hands on belly, inhale to expand ribs and diaphragm, exhale slowly.
- Kegel Exercises: Contract pelvic floor muscles for 5 seconds, release. Aim for 10 reps, 3 times a day.
- Posture Checks: Use a wall to reset your alignment—heels, hips and shoulders touching surface.
- Gentle Walks: Start with short strolls, gradually increase as you feel stronger.
